Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“Highly recommend Jersey Shore Cremation. They handled my sons cremation when I lost him during pregnancy and took such great care when handling him. They were so kind and considerate to our situation and needs. The whole team is so very polite and helpful. Thank you again for taking such great care of our baby boy.”
— Jenna Buttari
“My family had an excellent experience with a direct cremation here. I live in CA and was trying to do as much as I could remotely before coming back NJ, so there was a lot of googling and weeding through weird internet cremation pages and AI answering services from other funeral homes, then I landed here. I had called prior to my father’s passing and spoke with Dave, who was very nice and gave me all the information I would need once we were ready to start making decisions. Their transport guys were very respectful and super strong (my dad was a 6’4” giant!). Zack was very communicative during the process, and we were able to pick up my dad’s cremains a few days later. There were many urn options to choose from, and we picked a main urn, plus a couple ancillary vessels. Zack was super patient as we looked at literally every option there and never tried to upsell us on anything. Zack walked us through everything we needed to know, guided us through all the paperwork, offered us future guidance if we need it, and sent us on our way. They made the best of a not-so-great time for my family, and I’m so grateful that we chose them.”

“I am so grateful for the professionalism and compassion of the family-run Jersey Shore Cremation. They supported my mom when my father passed. Zack was both informative and thoughtful in interacting with our family. I could not have asked for a better experience during a time that is by nature painful and difficult. My mom and I are forever grateful.”
